Candle Making Soy Wax Information
Candle Making Soy Wax TipsPillar candles use a firmer candle wax so that the walls of the candle hold up when melting. Thus, they can be formed into larger candles and can maintain a variety of shapes and sizes. The candle making process for both of these types of candles is similar in the way that the candle making molds are used. You will want to dip the wicks into the candle wax making sure to coat it properly. Next, cut the wick for your candles, keeping it just a bit longer than the candle length you want. After the wicks cool, dip them again. Each time you do, the candle will grow in size. If you are making sets of the candles, it is important to cut the wicks exactly the same length. If you want different areas of the candles to be different colors, you will be able to do so by simply having more than one color of wax ready to use. Once your candle is close to the desired thickness you want, shave it with a soft blade, giving the top a pointed look. This is how you will “build” your candle. Dip your candles a few more times to give them a smooth finish.

You may also wish to create scented candles and these candle scents come in squares having six wafers and one wafer can scent five pounds of wax, and you can use as much scent as is required. You may find that you never bother with paraffin at all. Most will tell you that they are well worth the price. They come in many colors and many scents. I have never bought soy, though I may try them out one day. These make great gifts too, and if you are thinking of making your own candles, you may want to go with these first. You will have a longer, cleaner burning candle, and you will be very happy with them for a long time to come. It is more expensive to make both soy and beeswax candles, and that means they are going to cost more when you buy them.
